I always tend to get something I need or a nice surprise that I will use and not just leave around the house gathering dust.
My mother and sister in law have a knack of picking up the tiniest things you mention throughout the year though and somehow remember when it comes to xmas or birthdays.

I hate baked beans so I was puzzled at that as a gift and haven't a clue as to how they arrived at that as a present.

I'm guessing it's the cliché that students live on nothing but cold baked beans Joey.
